The Most Touching Bro-hugs

As far as I know or recalled, there were about 4 bro-hugs scences between S and D.

Season 2, when S was revived after D traded his soul

Season 3, when D and S was tricked by the trickster, and at end S giving D a hug after months of mental tortured by the trickster

Season 4, when D was brought back from hell and caught S doing some hookie-thing

Season 5, you know, it was two weeks ago….

Question: Which do you think is the most touching one?

“I like the one in season 3, I really felt for S, losing his bro multiple times on the same day and the mental tortured by the trickster. At the morning of the day, finally seeing D to be alive. I really like the two bro hugging at the end, I really felt for S”

There weren't any bro hugs in that ep though. dumbo is asking which bro hug was the most touching.

I'd say the one in Season 4, Lazarus Rising for sure. Sam went straight toward him and they just clung to each other and held on so tight... : That was the most touching hug I've seen from them yet. Sam trying not to cry, Dean just holding on with that "It's gonna be alright. I'm here" expression on his face. Nothing is more touching than that.

I liked all the hugs, but for some reason the one that really gets me is the one from Mystery Spot. Even though it was a one way hug, the look on Sam's face, so happy to have his brother back after experiencing six months without him, was touching. He was so little brotherly, it was sweet.

I still can't believe that in over 5 years, we've only had one reciprocated hug, in Lazarus Rising.

Thankfully we've had a couple more since then.

My favorite hug is from S6 - Like a Virgin - when Sam wakes up and comes up from the panic room.

I love ALL their hugs, including the one-sided ones like in AHBL1 when Sam was dying in Dean's arms and Dean hung on crying, "No, no, no..." Then in AHBL2 when Sam was unaware why Dean was so passionate in his hug.

Same with Mystery Spot when Dean was aware, but not feeling it. Sam was desperate, so relieved to have his brother back.

The absolute best hugs were in Lazarus Rising. When Sam finally accepted that it was Dean and they hugged. Sam was so unbelievably relieved, shocked, happy to have his brother back and Dean was the ultimate big brother, so happy to have his brother in his arms and knowing that he was back and things were gonna be okay. Pure love and need on both sides.

And while not a brotherly hug, the one between Bobby and Dean in LR was also the ultimate. Dean again the comforter, Bobby the shocked and relieved one. Beautiful emotion perfectly captured. And I believe Bobby was just as happy to be there to witness Sam and Dean's hug!

I have been pondering this question for a while...and I have to agree with bjxmas in that AHBL 1 when Sam was dying was the best, even though it wasn't both of them! It just breaks my heart! Also in AHbL 2 - although technically this isn't a hug - when Sam tells Dean that "You're my big brother...there's nothing i wouldn't do for you!" That's as good as ahug for me!

Also the hug from 6.12 when Sam wakes up from his brush with death and the wall! That's a close second!

I remember seeing AHBL for the first time as a clip on youtube. I couldn't believe they killed Sam! I bawled my eyes out during that last scene.

And although not strictly a hug, I always love the touching scene from Simon Said just after the guy (professor?) has been hit by the bus. Sam is sitting on the roadside clearly distraught that he was unable to save the guy, and Dean just has his hand resting on Sam's back or shoulder trying to comfort him. It's subtle, yet so touching.
